Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

That evening, Zeng Dashu and his wife arrived home a little late. After they prepared dinner and were about to eat, they heard a knock on the door.

"Who will come at this time?" Zeng Dashu frowned.

"If there's nothing wrong, they won't knock on the door. Let's go and take a look." Mei Zi put down her bowl and chopsticks and was about to go out.

Zeng Dashu said, "You eat first, I'll go take a look."

"Ok."

Zeng Dashu went out for a short while and then came back quickly. "The government asked me to come over. They said they had invited several village heads to discuss something." He went to a stool and took a cotton jacket and put it on. "It will take me at least half an hour to get there. You should eat and go to sleep first. Leave the food on the table and don't clean it up. I'll go to Sister Wanjin's house and tell her to look after this place."

He was so busy talking that he uttered a series of words while putting on his cotton-padded jacket.

Mei Zi didn't want to listen to him preaching, "I know, I know. Just be careful."

When he went out again, the yamen runner who was delivering the news had already gone to the village in front.

Zeng Dashu turned and went to Wan Jin's house, said a few words to her, and then hurried to the county government office with a torch.

Halfway through the journey, I heard footsteps behind me. When I turned around, I realized that it was the village chief of the previous village and the two yamen runners who had just delivered the message.

Zeng Dashu stopped and waited for them.

"Big Tree, I knew it was you." The head of Annan Village said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go together."

The two of them followed the bailiff into a room in the county government office, where there were already two people.

The bailiff said, "Just wait here for a while. When everyone is here, come over."

"Hey, good."

The two people who were originally sitting in the room stood up and greeted them when they saw them come in.

Although Zeng Dashu had not dealt with them much, he had met them once or twice. He stared at the younger man and wanted to say a few words to him. However, before he opened his mouth, Yang Chunshan, the head of Annan Village, asked, "Who else is missing?"

Zeng Dashu's original words turned into, "The head of Anxi Village hasn't arrived yet."

"Everyone, don't stand." Luo Qingyang, an old uncle from Luojia Village, said, "Sit down and talk. Anxi Village is far from here, and it will take some time to get there."

Zeng Dashu looked around the room and found that the layout of the house was strange. The arrangement of the tables and chairs inside was similar to the canteen when he first came to Beishan County to repair the city wall.

Besides the long table and benches, there was only an empty bookshelf in the room.

There was tea and snacks on the long table. He hadn't had time to eat dinner, and after this trip, he was hungry.

Thinking of this, his stomach started growling uncontrollably, and no matter how he breathed in or pressed his stomach, he couldn't stop the growling.

He blushed.

Yang Chunshan asked: "Can the food on the table be eaten?"

"Sure." Luo Qingyang said, "It's for us to eat. You haven't had dinner yet, right?" He pushed the plate in front of Zeng Dashu and Yang Chunshan, "Eat something to fill your stomach."

After eating half a plate of millet cake, Zeng Dashu was not full, but he was too embarrassed to reach for more.

Fortunately, everyone is here.

As soon as Meng Changqing came in, she smiled and said, "Thank you for making this trip." She sat down in the main seat and continued, "Today is our first village heads meeting, and the heads of the five villages in the county are here.

I believe that you have all greeted each other before I came here, and you will become more and more familiar with each other as you get along with each other in the future.

In theory, there are towns under the county, and villages and towns under the town. But the situation in Beishan County is special, the area is small, and the population is small. Judging from the current situation, it is not necessary to divide it layer by layer.

All rules are made by people. As an official, I hope there will be fewer useless rules and regulations, and that everything should be based on actual needs. " (End of this chapter)
